    app:pacv_historyFile="@string/pacv_default_history_file_name"
    app:pacv_googleMapsApiKey="AIzaSyCDtiMxC1BvScyGOFibjo16MPFe-eQcGRE"/>

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    PlacesAutocompleteTextView placesAutocomplete=(PlacesAutocompleteTextView)findViewById(R.id.places_autocomplete);


    placesAutocomplete.setOnPlaceSelectedListener(
            new OnPlaceSelectedListener() {
                @Override
                public void onPlaceSelected(final Place place) {
                    // do something awesome with the selected place
                }
            }
    );

Key will be same(Your product key) just enable google place web service api in your project from google console.If you are using auto complete text view else you can also use the new placeAutoCompleteFragment or google place picker api(New).

If you do not add any restriction when it will not effect. In case you really want to put restriction for API key then you should add "Package name : fingerprint" so any app will not have match with this. So after that this key will only associated with your application.
